A bridge is more expensive than a single crown because it includes at least two crowns and a pontic. However, per unit, costs are similar.
A single crown ranges from Ksh 15,000 to Ksh 50,000+, depending on material (e.g., metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia).
The procedure is not painful as local anesthesia is used. Post-procedure discomfort (e.g., mild soreness or sensitivity) is common but manageable with painkillers. Severe pain is rare and should be checked by a dentist.
With proper care and maintenance, crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or even longer. Good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, can help extend the lifespan of these restorations.
Crowns and bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, and porcelain-fused-to-metal. The choice of material depends on factors such as the location of the tooth, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements.
To care for your crowns and bridges, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antibacterial mouthwash. Avoid chewing hard foods or objects that could damage the restorations. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of your crowns and bridges.
